Borax For Carpet Cleaning - and More Borax Tips and Hints around the House

Happy Slob reader, Lourene, sent me in the following email after trying the carpet cleaning formula on our website.

"I USED YOUR ADVICE FOR THE CARPET CLEANING SOLUTION, BUT I DID ONE
EXTRA THING I USED 1 CUP OF BORAX. IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE WHAT CAME UP.
I WILL NEVER HAVE A CLEANING SERVICE COME IN ANYMORE. I WILL RENT A
RUG DOCTOR AND USE THE CLEANING SOLUTION I MADE. ONE MORE THING I DID
IS BOIL WATER IN A BIG POT TO HAVE THAT VERY HOT WATER,

THANK YOU FOR THE TIP."

Thanks Lourene! I'm a huge fan of Borax. Here are some more handy Borax cleaning tips I've posted or researched over the years.

Borax as a Natural Air Freshener
Borax Dishwasher Detergent Substitute
Borax to Remove Toilet Stains

And remember, Borax is pretty easy to find in the supermarket, Walmart or wherever you shop. Just look in the laundry department, and it should be there sitting amongst the boxes of detergent. And it's frugal, hurray! (You can also order Borax online if you can't find it locally, check out this link for 20 Mule Team Borax )

It is really important to organize all your stuffs in one place to keep them in tacked and sort them well. In this sense, you won’t have difficult time in searching for certain stuffs and digging it out in a storage box.

Take care of spills and stains quickly to keep your carpet clean. For many spills, simply use water or a damp cloth; that will help most of them. If it doesn't, just widen your search. There are several products available at the grocer or hardware store that can help you remove spills and stains quickly.
